On Friday, illegal Israeli colonizers invaded a Palestinian orchard in the Al-Khader town, south of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, and uprooted seventy saplings before stealing them.
Local activist Ahmad Salah said the colonizers invaded an orchard owned by Palestinians from the local Sbeih family in the Zakandah area, south of the town, and uprooted at least seventy olive saplings.
Salah added that the colonizers apparently took the uprooted saplings away to plant them in their nearby illegal colony.
The colonizers recently escalated their violations in Al-Khader, uprooted many trees, demolished agricultural rooms and sheds, and confiscated lands.
